TTING 4'/& TONS PER ACRE . SEVENTH YEAR AFTER SEEDING^ H"SEES33t PERMANENT HAY PRODUCES DOUBLE THE QUANTITY of TIMOTHY and CLOVER and maintains the yield 20 years and more* SUPPLIES A GOOD CROP OF HKY In dry seasons when ordinary Hayfields are burned up. n :: QUALITY SUPERIOR. o o o p o o a: % r 3E1 fLTHOUGH the most widely cultivated hay grass in the United States is Timothy, or a mixture of Timothy and Clover, and while they answer the purpose admirably on farms where the soil is suitable and where the usual three and four years' rotation is carried on, yet, there are many other grasses which will yield more profitable returns. The prevailing low prices of "Wheat, Corn and other grain crops have made their growing, and the usual rotation farming unprofitable, especially in the Eastern States, where it is impossible to compete with the rich prairie soils of the "West, but hay still yields a fair profit, and the farmer whose laDd is sown with a proper mixture of Permanent Grasses, requiring only an occasional top-dressing of manure or fertilizer to MAINTAIN THEIR HEAVY CROPPING QUALITIES FOR TWENTY YEARS OR MORE, does away with the necessity for plowing and rotation cropping with all its attendant expense. The most serious item of expense on the farm, the labor bill, can be largely reduced and thus give reasonable prospect of profitable annual returns at a minimum of labor and expense. The seed of these Permanent Grasses is more costly than Timothy, and more is required per acre, but by reason of their heavy cropping quali- ties and permanency they soon repay the extra cost and leave a handsome margin for the farmer, when the cost of plowing, harrowing and re-seeding Timothy every three and four years is taken into consideration. The grasses used in this Mixture recover quickly after the hay crop is cut, and yield either a second crop or pasture in the greatest abundance during the summer and fall months. Within a few days after cutting, their rich green appearance as compared with Timothy is a desirable feature, especially in fields close to the house, as it gives a park-lawn effect to the surroundings. Sow 3 bushels per acre. Directions in every bag. Price, $2.50 per bush.; 20 bush. @ $2.45 ; 50 bush. @ $2.40 ; 100 bush. (S, $2.35. (State whether wanted for light, medium or heavy soils.) Mixed Permanent Clovers, 10 lbs to sow an acre, $2.00; should be sown in spring. (Seepage 2.)
